(Verse 1)

When I go, I don't want you to follow

I packed clothes, so I hope that you trust me well enough

I move around, I'm searching for something to want me

So when I go, I don't want you to follow

I'll call you from my new place downtown

It won't be long 'till I catch a flight to get out for a while

I move around, I'm searching for something to want me

I'll call you when I get home, again

(Chorus)

What's the point of dreaming if you close your eyes?

And what's the point of crying if it's over lies?

Tell me that you'd love me if your hands weren't tied

Well if that's truе, I'll see you on the other side

Thеre's something about knowing that I'm better off scared

So, in my mind I choose to untie ribbons from your hair

My light is somewhere in the dark, and that's not fair

(Verse 2)

Where I'm going there's a love I can barrow

Dirty streets, but the city still shines

I move around, I'm searching for something to want me

And where I'm going, I know I'll be safe

(Chorus)

What's the point of dreaming if you close your eyes?

And what's the point of crying if it's over lies?

Tell me that you'd love me if your hands weren't tied

Well if that's true, I'll see you on the other side

There's something about knowing that I'm better off scared

So, in my mind I choose to untie ribbons from your hair

My light is somewhere in the dark, and that's not fair

For the ribbons that you hung to make me miss the way we were

The ribbons tied around my fingers leads me to the shore

Red ribbon in the drawer, but I'm not taking it home

(Bridge)

Don't you wish you did more when you see me happy?

You're all upset, but I don't see you trying

I'll be halfway across the world by the time you knock on my door

(Outro)

There's something about knowing that I'm better off scared

So, in my mind I choose to untie ribbons from your hair

My light is somewhere in the dark, and that's not fair

For the ribbons that you hung to make me miss the way were

The ribbons tired around my fingers lead me to the shore

Red ribbon in the drawer, but I'm not taking it home
